Top weight in today’s final round was Richard Chave (Garbolino Blackmore Vale) with a chub weight of 34lb 7oz. Rich was drawn on the noted cattle drink peg at Beanacre on Melkshams water, and got off to a unfortunate start by losing two chub in succession on a light pinkie rig. A change to a heavier set-up saw a string of good chub coming to the net with the best topping out at nearly 4lb. Rich caught at 14m using double & triple maggot or bits of worm fishing across the river to a far bank bush. Second place went to Ian Shepherd (Daiwa Gordon League) who had a nice bag of roach & hybrids for 16lb 14oz. Ian drew the park section in Melksham and caught on bread at 13m.

On the team front, Garbolino Blackmore Vale sealed their pick of the unknown semi final venues with a third place on the day - this still saw them win the league with a 2 point advantage. Winners on the day were Daiwa Gordon League with 50 points and they also took second overall place in the league.
